Donald Trump Is Refusing to Concede the Election. What Happens Now?

President Trump vows to contest the victory of Joe Biden, despite the lack of any credible evidence that voter fraud took place….

But how how far will Trump take his refusal to accept the election results? Vanity Fair reports that some members of his inner circle are fearful that Trump might actually refuse to leave the Oval Office, denying his defeat to the bitter end. “A few members have reportedly grown worried that, eventually, someone will have to sit Trump down and explain that little Donny’s not going to be president anymore—and at this point, it seems unlikely anyone will be able to get through to him short of slapping him across the face and screaming, ‘YOU LOST! IT’S OVER!’”, the magazine wrote in an online piece last week. “Yes, this is an actual thing allies of the president of the United States are actually grappling with.”

The Biden campaign has voiced little concern at the prospect of Trump clinging to power. “As we said on July 19, the American people will decide this election,” campaign spokesman Andrew Bates said in a statement. “And the United States government is perfectly capable of escorting trespassers out of the White House.”

So, when all is said and done, it appears likely that the Trump presidency will end not in tragedy but in farce.

Rachel Maddow perhaps summed it up best on MSNBC on Saturday, after Joe Biden had been declared the new president-elect and Donald Trump, playing golf at the time, continue to insist he had a actually won the election.

Saying that she had expected that Trump might refuse to concede, no matter the outcome, and that she had initially feared what that unprecedented historic moment would feel like, Maddow said her actual reaction was much different.

“I thought it would be scary or, at least, it would feel like it would sort of shake the foundations of the republic a little bit for the incumbent president, who is still the commander in chief of the military, who still commands the executive branch of the United States government, for him to defy an election result and say, ‘No, no, no, I’m still president,’” Maddow told her MSNBC colleague Lawrence O’Donnell.

“Now that Trump is in fact doing it,” she added, “it just feels laughable; it feels small and pitiful and irrelevant.”

A$AP Rocky Turned An Entire Manchester City Kit Into His Album Rollout

A$AP Rocky doesn’t do album rollouts quietly, and this one recruited an entire Premier League club to help. Manchester City, PUMA, and Rocky teamed up on a limited apparel run tied to “Don’t Be Dumb,” his 2026 album, timed around his September 5th show at Co-op Live.

The centerpiece is a long-sleeve PUMA King jersey in black and archive gold, with “DON’T BE DUMB” running down the sleeve and AWGE branding worked in throughout. A bold “MANCHESTER” graphic covers the back. Fans could also add limited “A$AP 11” name-and-number printing onto the club’s actual Home, Away, or Third kits, while supplies lasted at retail.

There’s a players-only version too, and it never went up for sale. That one sticks closer to City’s usual sky-blue identity, with its own sleeve detailing and back graphic — the kind of piece that exists purely because a handful of people got lucky.

The whole rollout kicked off with a one-night pop-up on September 4th, when PUMA turned a spot in Manchester’s Northern Quarter into a pop-up cafe for the night, mixing football, music, and street style into one room before the wider release hit the stadium store the next morning. Some of those jerseys even came with golden tickets to the concert or that Saturday’s match.

Rocky has called the project true to his own design language, and it’s not even his only club collaboration this cycle — a similar drop with AC Milan landed around the same time. At this point, the line between fashion week and matchday has basically disappeared.

Quavo And Lids Are Going All In On Atlanta With Their New Cap Pack

Quavo has never been shy about his hat obsession, and Lids just gave him another outlet for it. Their new “Atlanta” pack drops September 12th, marking another round in a partnership that’s been running strong since 2019.

The collection is a love letter to the city, spread across three very different caps. One mashes up pinstripes, script lettering, and Braves branding into a single design, working navy, red, white, and light blue into the mix. Another goes the opposite direction entirely — fully iced out in crystal detailing, done up in black and red, with both the Falcons and the Braves showing up in the design. The third strips things back to an old-school “ATL” trucker cap in red, white, and gold, the kind of understated piece that lets the city’s name do the talking.

None of this is new territory for Quavo. He’s talked before about waiting on hat releases as a kid, and that same excitement seems to be what’s kept this partnership going years past most celebrity collabs. His earlier Lids run leaned on one moment — the Braves’ 1995 World Series win — but this pack pulls from the city’s whole sports history instead of just one highlight.

Lids has called Quavo one of the rare voices who can blend music, fashion, and sports without it feeling forced, and this drop backs that up. Given how fast his past releases have moved, Atlanta might want to set an alarm for September 12th.
